her kouri has learned his role quickly. 

his smile is quick. he is eager. kaede knows she must teach him not to show himself with such readiness. masa-sama followed blood and the trail of a sword. there is no way to know what the coming days will bring. like the rest of them, clover must prepare to be cold.

but here it is only he and she, the two of them. 

kaede drops this moss into the pouch carried by the fox. 

though she does not smile, it is in her eyes. "it is good you have learned quickly, yotsuba." it is what she calls him now, from time to time. a clover, as explained, is a symbol of luck to kaede. yotsuba — four-leaves — this name reflects the clever status of her fox more accurately to the samurai.

he is not to be underestimated.

into her own sagemono does kaede place the collected leaves. she looks at clover again.

"do not let the others know how much you understand."

she does not trust them. and she does not expect to be trusted. a kouri is also a spy where needed.
